Park Symbol

“I think it’s the piss boy.”

“Why all of a sudden?”

“Who wants to see a statue of a man with a brown fountain coming out of his ass?”

“That’s not the point!”

“So maybe a puking lion?”

“Apologize to Singapore! !”

What we’re talking about is a landmark. Or, more accurately, landmarks.

When it comes to city-building simulations, landmarks are the name of the game. This is the thing that you can build and be happy with.

I was going to build it because I wanted to be nimble, but I quit because I had a feeling that if I built a high-rise structure in our garden, the thoughtless people in tiger skins would do a no-strings-attached bungee with the force of alcohol.

Whenever the tiger skin goes into hiding, ketchup covered minced meat is found around the red tower. I can’t wait for it to be torn down.

If that is the case, is there anything that can be a symbol on a smaller scale? I consulted with Suzuka, and she replied, a park. 

Suzuka’s suggestion came at a time when the number of kids had grown and she needed a place to unwind. I can’t say I disagree, but I don’t want a primitive pasture where insects squirm in the name of a public restroom.

It’s just a symbol, after all. The fountain is, therefore, the park’s icon. How do you feel about a fountain? I considered it, but it didn’t seem to suit Suzuka’s tastes.

Well, they’re the ones who come round when they’re sober and drink. Is the impact weak? On the other hand, why are they usually wearing clothes?

“Speaking of which, Shuten-san wants to go on a tiger hunt. He said he didn’t want to ruin his arm.”

“You don’t have to tell me, but can that guy hunt or something?”

“I heard him say something like, “If the enemy is a fearless, mad beast, you can only slay it as it comes at you.”

“When did our garden become a muscle farm?”

“I don’t need you to tell me……”

Well, you can do whatever you want. I don’t care.

◇◆◇◆◇

That’s why I decided on a symbol. After much thought, I decided on a mermaid statue. Speaking of water, there is Undine. Speaking of Undine, mermaid.

The actual, or rather lore, Undine is a normal female figure, but a mere statue of a woman in the middle of a spray of water makes too much sense.

I believe it was inspired by something I witnessed a long time ago, which is why I went with a mermaid. It’s not because last night’s meal was cooked flounder.

Once the decision is made, all that remains is to create.

It would be easy to use a 3D printer to make it, but I would like to make it with my own hands.

Why? Because I’m bored.

Because of Shuten-san’s arrival, I’m not the one doing the crafting after all.

But Suzuka is a teacher, Shuten is a tiger skin collector, and I am a park builder. I feel like my work is biased towards the kids…….

Well, let’s not be petty. It’s not a bad thing for a child to grow up well.

My perfect body has plenty of room for sculpting.

I’m brilliant at copying and such, but when it comes to creating something unique, my humanity shines through.

I know my self-esteem. Yeah, I know what I’m doing……

So all we need is a model. For the upper body, I’ll use Suzuka as a model.

Her breasts should be hidden by her hair.

I’m not like the tiger skins. I don’t show my tits to other people.

◇◆◇◆◇

“In the first place, there was no mermaid culture in this day and age, no offense.”

“Yes……”

Suzuka is depressed. When the kids saw the work, they said, “Snake lady?”

I’m feeling depressed too.

When the children saw the mermaid statue, they asked, “Is this the Queen’s true form? That’s so cool!”.

Why the suspicion of a real snake woman? No, I really don’t know why.

Was it a bad idea to make the tail fin attach to the ground to increase stability?

I built a high platform to set it up, so the kids might not be able to see the tail fin.

“Should we tear it down?”

“It’s okay.”

“No, there’s more to the problem than just snakes and stuff, right?”

“I’ll teach you how to do that in the future.”

By the way, the fountain, which was completed in a rush with the help of Masaru and his friends, was very popular among the children.

A new water playground.

The laws that were self-evident while I was human aren’t applicable here. Why hadn’t I thought of that before?

◇◆◇◆◇

“That is what my body has evolved into. If Suzuka-dono’s true form was like this statue, it wouldn’t be shocking. However, Kane. Consider why Suzuka-dono normally keeps this form hidden. It has to have some significance. Maybe there’s something we don’t need to know. Don’t forget about it. Whatever happens, we owe this country a debt we will never be able to repay.”

“Yes! I understand!”

You don’t understand.

Tori(E-series) sent me a video of Shuten staring blankly at the mermaid statue as if to say, “The old man is back.”

I was curious about what they were saying while looking at the statue, so I played back the audio and this is what happened.

The RABBIT picks up all the audio inside the walls, and the data is stored for the past five years.

This setting was chosen to alert the Tiger skins to any suspicious activity and to instruct Sin to sort out and report any potentially harmful terms.

There have been no reports to date.

With all that talk, I can always hear the chatter of the other guys on the wall.

I feel like I shouldn’t have asked. I can’t let Suzuka hear this.

Shuten’s figure was drenched in blood. I’m not sure I should be talking to my daughter in that state.

It seems that he had brought tiger skins back with him on the vehicle, so it must have worked.

It’s been a normal day for us.

Yeah, it’s peaceful.
